"Of course it is true. As long as our army enters the north, it can rob the enemy's food and grass for our army to use. This is exactly what Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, "Therefore, the wise generals are about to eat the enemy. Eat the enemy for one bell, and the stalk is about twenty bells; a stone is about twenty bells," Pei Qing explained patiently to Chen Qun and others with a faint smile on his face.

"It is a very dangerous thing to go deep into the enemy. If there is any mistake, it may cause extremely serious losses. The lord needs to consider this matter carefully." Chen Qun was shocked after hearing this. He felt that Pei Qing was too risky to do this, so he quickly persuaded him.

However, Pei Qing said confidently, "Don't worry, long article, this time we will definitely be able to get food from the enemy and complete the task smoothly, because the general I am going to send is called Xu Rong."

"General Xu Rong? It turned out to be him!"

"Yes, General Xu Rong led his army to resist Yuan Shu's attack alone, which made Yuan Shu's army frightened and urinated. Such a person would definitely win this time if he went to fight."

"That's right, I am also full of confidence in General Xu. This time I regained the North, so General Xu was used. The Huns were defeated by no means unjustly..."

When Pei Qing mentioned the veteran Xu Rong, the army was full of praise, but Chen Qun was still a little worried, because the battlefield changed rapidly and there was never a victorious general. Xu Rong was able to defeat Yuan Shu because he was defending at that time, but he could achieve a change in offense and defense. Moreover, the sharpness of the Huns' Iron Cavalry was not like Yuan Shu's army. Whether it could be defeated in the end was still a question, especially Xu Rong wanted to fight behind enemy lines. Once he was defeated, the consequences would be unimaginable...

Pei Qing also saw his concern, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, long article, with Xu Rongzhi's ability, there will be no mistakes in this journey." However, Pei Qing did not tell Chen Qun why he was so confident, because there was no way to explain this thing to others.

After receiving Pei Qing's order, Xu Rong did not hesitate at all and immediately agreed. At this time, Xu Rong was serving as Zuo Fengyi, not far from Chang'an, so the news was conveyed very quickly. In just half a day, he received Pei Qing's appointment. After receiving the order, he immediately mobilized the army to receive three days of rations and weapons, and led 5,000 soldiers to set off the next day.

In fact, Xu Rong had secretly investigated the intelligence in the North before this. It was he who asked to conquer the Huns immediately after the incident broke out in the North. It was he who proposed the method of feeding the enemy to solve the problem of the food crisis.

Xu Rong and Pei Qing thought of going together. Xu Rong's ability was already top-notch. Coupled with his characteristics of breaking Hu, this battle would definitely be invincible.

It was precisely because Xu Rong took the initiative to ask for a fight, and he also knew that the probability of Pei Qing's agreement could account for more than 80%, so he had already made a secret preparation when sending someone to send a letter to Pei Qing for a fight, so Xu Rong's actions were so rapid.

In order to create a surprise attack, Xu Rong's army lies out at night and takes a detour. The army came to Anding County, and went directly through the mountains from Anding Sanshui to the hinterland of Beidi County.

At this time, Xu Rong's army had almost eaten the food, but Xu Rong was not panicked. He found the elite soldiers under his command to disguise themselves and found that there was a Hun camp not far ahead, with at least 100,000 cattle and sheep in it, and there were not many troops stationed in it, so the other party was not prepared yet, so it was completely suitable for sneak attacks.

Xu Rong was very happy after hearing this. He sent several waves of spies in succession. One was to confirm whether the news was accurate. He monitored the other party at the age of twenty, grasped the other party's dynamics, and knew that the army was ordered to take action at midnight in the evening.

It happened that night was windy and snowy, the cold wind was howling, and the cold wind was biting. The soldiers of the Huns were trembling with coldness and hid in the warm tent, and they were even more unprepared. Xu Rong led the army to the camp under the cover of wind and snow. With a command, he could only hear the shouts of killing from the entire army, and launched a fierce attack on the Huns who were not prepared for the slightest defense, like a tiger down the mountain. Many Huns were killed in the tent before they even got up, and some of them reacted to resist. But they were all scattered soldiers and even had insufficient armor and weapons, so naturally they had no combat power and were easily killed by the Han soldiers...

In that night, Xu Rong killed more than 4,000 Xiongnu soldiers, plundered tens of thousands of horses, and nearly 100,000 cattle and sheep. So many livestock completely solved the military supply problem, which was enough for the entire army to eat for half a month.

But Xu Rong knew that he could not fight with so many cattle and sheep, because it would drag down his schedule and be detrimental to future operations. He would even be besieged by the main force of the enemy because of his slow marching.

So after the soldiers had a delicious meal, Xu Rong ordered that all the people who could be taken away and all the people who could not be taken away were destroyed. Of course, there were many herders in the camp. These herders could not be taken away, nor could they let them go, because once they left, these people would definitely go to find the tribe members near them. In this way, once the other party was prepared, it would be inconvenient for Xu Rong to take the next action.

Xu Rong did not change his bloody and cruel nature. He could even do the cooking and killing the prefect of Yingchuan before, but what else could he do now? So Xu Rong directly ordered all the people to be set to death, leaving only more than a thousand women and children crying helplessly on windy and snowy nights and in the fire...

After receiving effective supplements, Xu Rong ordered people to guard the women and children, rest for two hours, and then abandoned the prisoners and led a large group of people to leave calmly.

Xu Rong burned, killed and plundered everywhere in the next ten days, killing a total of 50,000 or 60,000 people from the Huns, plundered and killed 300,000 cattle and sheep, and 50,000 to 60,000 horses. This military operation brought great losses to the Huns, causing great damage to the Huns, and never recovered from then on...

Not to mention this, Xu Rong's cruel massacre policy also made the Huns fascinated, so that Xu Rong's name made everyone in the Huns awe, and it had the effect of stopping children from crying at night.

It was three days after the Huns' Chanyu Yu Fuluo received the news. He was shocked and quickly mobilized troops to encircle and block it. However, the whereabouts of Xu Rong's army have always been vague. After several days, the Huns' army found nothing. What shocked Yu Fuluo even more was that a few days later he heard a bad news again. Xu Rong had some unknown time to lead his army outside Niyang City, and then took advantage of the main force of the Huns' city to search for his troops. The troops in the city were empty, and he actually occupied Niyang City in one fell swoop. He also launched a bloody massacre on the five thousand old and weak Xiongnu troops who were left in Niyang. It is said that the five thousand people were slaughtered. Xu Rong also built a "Beijing Temple" in the city with the bodies of the Huns to shock the Huns.
